Jacksonville Jaguars Place Three Players on IR and Make Additional Roster Moves

It's easy for some of the Jacksonville Jaguars' roster transactions to get lost in translation with the news of the Jaguars picking up receiver Mike Sims-Walker, but there was some significant movement on Tuesday that shouldn't be overlooked.

Jacksonville placed three players on the Injured Reserved list: Tight end Zach Miller, defensive end Austen Lane and rookie cornerback Rod Issac. Miller and Lane weren't full-time starters but both had important roles as reserves.

The Jaguars also made some moves on the practice squad, upgrading cornerback T.J. Heath to the 53-man roster and waiving rookie receiver Jamar Newsome.
